Hello Tomki,

The schema for reports is:

first element is <feedback/>, it includes <policy_published/> . 
<policy_published/> contains <domain/>.  

Do you propose to include in the <domain/> the base domain, that declared 
implicitly or explicitly the sp= tag, and then
cummulate all data for that domain and subdomains in the same xml.gz report, or 
do you propose to include several xml.gz
files for each domain in a single email?

Alternative approaches to reduce the amount of emails are:
- include one or more xml reports in a single email, e.g. based on derived 
policy via the sp= mechanism

- group reports for a single domain owner into one email with many xml files, 
provided that the recipient address of the
reports is the same.  Here sp= is irrelevant.  This is tricky, when the 
recitient addresses for two domains overlap, but
are not identical.

- group xml.gz reports for many domain owners (or many distinct second level 
domains) into a single email, provided that
the recipients of the different reports would be the same.

Regards
  Дилян
